G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual (Factory New)

The G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade autosniper skin wrapped in a maroon and silver design of intricate linework and ancient creatures. Factory New is the top grade, showing the ritual artwork at its most legible before any wear touches it.

Design

A deep maroon base carries fine silver linework and a cast of ancient creatures, giving the rifle a mystical, hand-etched feel rather than a plain military look. It's a Valve-made finish, and it ships with the in-game line "The privilege is yours."

G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float runs from 0.00 to 0.76 across the finish, and Factory New sits at the tight bottom of that range. Here the maroon reads rich and the silver linework stays fully sharp, with no scratching to interrupt the creature detail. If you want the ritual pattern shown exactly as intended, this is the grade to reach for.

G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, one step up from the entry Consumer grade. It's a common tier to pull, which keeps the finish approachable.

G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Ancient Collection, which debuted with Operation Broken Fang in December 2020. The collection isn't tied to a weapon case, so regular copies arrive as collection drops or through trade-ups rather than case openings.

G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual Patterns

The design is fixed — the paint seed doesn't shift where the maroon, the silver lines, or the creatures land, so every copy carries the artwork the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt; only wear and float separate copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of this finish, so no kill-counter variant exists. It does come as a Souvenir, though — those copies are handed out through Major-tournament souvenir packages tied to the Ancient map, first the Stockholm 2021 Ancient Souvenir Package and then later Major packages, which is a separate route from the regular finish you see here.

G3SG1 | Ancient Ritual Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the highest grade on offer, a clear step above Minimal Wear yet still an affordable mid-tier pick rather than grail money. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear here?

If you want the maroon at its richest and the silver creature linework fully crisp, yes. Factory New is the highest grade and shows the artwork without any interruption. That said, the design hides light wear well, so a Minimal Wear copy looks close for less if the top grade isn't a priority.

Why is there no StatTrak Ancient Ritual?

The finish was never issued with a StatTrak counter. StatTrak versions come only from weapon cases that offer them, and this design comes from The Ancient Collection rather than such a case, so no kill-tracking variant was ever produced — only a regular and a Souvenir version exist.

Which gloves go with the Ancient Ritual?

Its maroon-and-silver palette suits a warm, dark loadout, so deep-red or brown gloves lean into the maroon while gray or muted wraps pick up the silver linework. Anything in the crimson-to-earth range keeps the mystical, ritual vibe intact.
